Rejoice my spirit is flyin’

Rejoice ’cause I have been given

a brand new day!

Take a glimpse through my eyes into the world of the Bagasao family.

We are a Christian homeschooling family of eight. Our five daughters are the apple of their daddy’s eye, and our one son is a man in the making! My husband Stephen is a Christian contemporary musician whose Nashville-produced album Abandon launched our music ministry in 2007. I keep busy at home teaching, training, and tending my many blessings. I am also writing an ebook (among other things) to help others halve their grocery budgets as we have done over the years.

Check back often to receive updates on Stephen’s music and my books, hear about our homeschool antics, read about our walk of faith, learn money-saving tactics, and share in the blessings and togetherness of the Bagasao family.

God’s grace be with you!
